[[quoteright:280:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/RoA_Dragons_6066.jpg]][[caption-width-right:280:Meet the [[BigBad bad guys]]]]The Race of Aleria is an OriginalCharacterTournament currently starting its second round on the site [[http://race-of-aleria.deviantart.com deviantART]]. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As its name kindly announces]], the premise is that competitors are to [[CaptainObvious race eachother]] to reach a [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleporter]] to take them to the next phase of the race, all in the world of Aleria.

[[ExpoSpeak The point of this]] is to select one being who'll have the honor to slay the dictator dragons that had once [[AndThatsTerrible ruled over their civilization]] (whom had been thought to be [[DeaderThanDead dead]] but turned out [[NotQuiteDead not to be]]) in turn for money, fame and keeping the dragons' hides - which are also worth a lot of money in themselves.

-----------------

!!This OCT provides examples of:[[folder:General tropes]]* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Considering that Aleria is an intergalactic civilization and the contestants come from all over the ''multiverse'', this trope doesn't just exist in here. It's a must. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the occasional entry.** For Carlos, this would be Spanish. He can only speak Spanish.* BlessedWithSuck: A fair amount of the entrants, apparently. Like in every OCT.* ElementalPowers: Where do we even start?* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Really, the Race of Aleria.* SideKick: Any number of the teams.* TeleportersAndTransporters: What the means of reaching a checkpoint- as well as the racing sections- are.

[[AC:[[http://darktail67.deviantart.com/art/Chi-ref-sheet-188241214 Chi Darkfire]]]]* BlueAndOrangeMorality* LivingLieDetector: Sharp hearing plus lots of life experience make her this.* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Warm, playful, loving...[[{{Squick}} make of that what you will]]* PlayingWithFire: Not just a [[KillItWithFire fire-spitter]], but able to [[WreathedInFlames ignite her whole body ablaze]].

[[AC:[[http://wolf-dominion.deviantart.com/art/RoA-OCT-Chigi-Taj-Reference-194901517 Chigi Taj]]]]* HollywoodChameleons: Chigi is very good at using his moods to exactly match his environment.

[[AC:[[http://loboluver1155w.deviantart.com/art/Code-reff-200269172 Code]]]]* {{Adorkable}}: Because no matter who you are or what you believe in, her silly ways make you go "d'aww"* BreakoutCharacter: ight be too early to tell, however...

[[AC:[[http://dragonrider292.deviantart.com/art/RoA-Echo-Ref-192338066 Echo]] & [[http://dragonrider292.deviantart.com/art/RoA-Ymp-Ref-200345829 Ymp]]]]* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: The first person not to have their heart molten by the cuteness of Ymp is a person with no heart.

[[AC:[[http://monkeym0o.deviantart.com/art/Hawthorn-188034223 Hawthorn]]]]* BewareMyStingerTail* CartoonyTail: He is this trope taken to the ultimate extreme.* ConsummateLiar: His name spells this trope out.

[[AC:[[http://reverendaspen.deviantart.com/art/Hernando-Reference-192951983 Hernando Gómez]]]]* ChivalrousPervert: A textbook example, despite the trouble this causes him.* ClusterFBomb: Not usually, but with situations where a simple 'damn it!' would suffice, he has a persistent habit of becoming... creative with his word choice.* WouldntHitAGirl: Played very straight.

[[AC:[[http://thelupineone.deviantart.com/art/Leah-RoA-ref-art-SnowTheWolf-196494943 Leah]]]]* NatureSpirit: She IS nature.* GreenThumb: Self-explanatory.* FertileFeet: [[OverlyLongGag You get the point.]]

[[AC:[[http://mergebylie.deviantart.com/art/Mar-Lynn-187104170 Mar-Lynn]]]]* GenreSavvy: The reason why she's paranoid about dying.* MacGyvering: She can make gadgets out of bizarre tools, it seems.* RedShirt: [[DefiedTrope Defied]] [[ForTheLulz for laughs]]

[[AC:[[http://sketchgoat.deviantart.com/art/Pants-n-Roach-200921634 Pants & Roach]]]]* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: For Pants' IQ level and Roach's scarce level of knowledge, they're both quite competent in battle.* HeterosexualLifePartners* TheDividual: More like two halves of a semi-funtional brain

[[AC:[[http://mussatsu-lain.deviantart.com/art/Paper-Cat-ref-197228970 Paper Cat]]]]* ForTheLulz: He's a comedian. A bad one at that. But he does everything for his audience.* SizeShifter* StarfishAliens: His species is alien to where of Aleria it is that he comes from.* VerbalTic: Who has a verbal tic-ku? Are you talking about me-ku?

[[AC:[[http://kiyao.deviantart.com/art/RoA-Reference-Sophia-200970495 Sophia]]]]* SplitPersonality: Is it her? Is it a demon? Is it her mother? The world will never know.* EvilMatriarch

[[AC:[[http://wingedcatdusk.deviantart.com/art/Symphony-Reference-193541700 Symphony]]]]* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Averted. Symphony speaks "Fairy Cat", and while she has taken lessons to understand Alerian, she cannot speak it, and many Fairy Cats find it difficult to make the sounds required for it.* CallASmeerpARabbit: Symphony's species has been dubbed "Fairy Cats" by the rest of the universe, yet they are neither fairies nor cats, and they do not really resemble either.

[[AC:[[http://kulapti.deviantart.com/art/RoA-OCT-Syradeus-Reference-194369709 Syradeus Shalan]]]]* AppliedPhlebotinum: His e.ghost forms are an example of advanced technology.* GentleGiant: A book example. He's tall, intimidating and strong; but also soft-spoken, well-mannered, and nature-loving.

[[AC:[[http://snowthewolf.deviantart.com/art/Vespera-Reference-186240865 Vespera]]]]* TheStoic: Her expression never changes. Her tone never changes. She is like a piece of stone governing Aleria.

[[AC:[[http://chamfruit.deviantart.com/art/Nah-yair-Reference-186118672 Nah'yair]]]]* TheDragon: [[PlayingWithTropes Played with]] since she's both Vespera's second-in-command and not a bad person. And well, not a dragon per se albeit some contestants have confused her [[HilarityEnsues for an actual one]].

[[AC:[[http://shinkoryu14.deviantart.com/art/NPC-Cook-Riley-192177350 Riley]]]]* JerkassFacade - Riley may seem caustic, but really she just doesn't want to get too close to the contestants when any of them could die at any time.[[/folder]][[folder:Round 1]][[AC:For the sake of space and consistency, only the winner's canon will be taken into consideration here]]

[[AC:06. [[http://mussatsu-lain.deviantart.com/art/RoA-PC-R1-Cover-201912632 Paper Cat]] vs [[http://darktail67.deviantart.com/art/RoA-R1-1-202671970 Chi Darkfire]];]]->[[AC:'''Winner: Chi Darkfire.''']]* GoneHorriblyRight: Early in the match, Chi sets a lake of [[{{Phlebotinum}} neoketazol]] on fire, knowing that it would trigger an underground explosion large enough to make the dirt beneath her and her opponent to collapse. Later on, the same fire causes another, BIGGER underground explosion that nearly gets herself (and her opponent) killed.

[[AC:13. [[http://thelupineone.deviantart.com/art/RoA-Round-1-Prologue-I-201844564 Leah]] vs [[http://spraypainthavoc.deviantart.com/art/Aleria-Round-1-Prologue-202082910 Rehn]];]]->[[AC:'''Winner: Leah.''']]* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The teleportation specifically makes Leah forget who her opponent is, presumably as a form of {{Revision}} on the writer's part to get rid of a mistake he'd previously made regarding the OCT's rules.
